This cosy cottage is located in the grounds of Drummond Castle, just 3 miles from the pretty market town of Crieff where you will find a lovely selection of independent shops and restaurants. There are several distilleries in the area - why not book a tour or tasting session and enjoy a dram or two? You are ideally situated for exploring both the Trossachs and the Cairngorms from here; head out and conquer one of the 282 Munros which Scotland has to offer. For keen mountain bikers, there are lots of bike tracks in the area to discover. However, you may find you cannot tear yourself away from this perfect spot, so why not head to the stunning Castle gardens, where you have complimentary unlimited access during your stay.  Described as the best example of formal terraced gardens in Scotland and Europe, these impressive grounds date back to the 17th century.

This pretty country cottage has been lovingly restored and offers the perfect escape for a couple looking for some time away from day-to-day life. As you enter the cottage you will find yourself in the hallway, leading to a spacious, open-plan lounge/kitchen/diner with a wood burner. The dining table in the window offers views over the pond as you enjoy your breakfast or evening meal. The kitchen is well equipped with an electric hob and oven and integrated fridge. Along the hall you will find the shower room with a large walk-in shower, WC and bathrobes. At the end of the hallway, you will find the spacious king-size bedroom: a tranquil place to relax and unwind.

To the rear of the cottage, you will find a lovely sunny decked area which is reached by a number of low-rise steps. Its elevated position gives you a peek across the woodland and countryside. There is a charcoal BBQ and seating to make the most of summer evenings, read or make plans for the rest of your stay. There is private parking for one car to the side of the cottage.

Cottage is modern, clean and well furnished. Perhaps not as remote as we were expecting, there are other houses in close proximity, that said it was quiet and has an excellent view. You are very close to the castle grounds and a 10 minute walk to the gardens which are magnificent. It was a real privilege to have out of hours access to the gardens. Read moreWould happily return.

Great place and glad to recommend. The Wee Bothy was spotless and comfortable for a couple. The castle gardens, which we visited most days are a joy (even in early autumn). The Bothy is in an ideal location to visit Perth, Sterling and Edinburgh, and we did all three. Thanks Claire and the team. and thankyou for the welcome pack.
